Round table
Issues around water and the contribution of the young generation of African scientists
To attend the round tables live, follow this link (active soon)
The objective of this round table is to discuss the place of young scientists and their contributions to meet the stakes and challenges of the 21st century that arise around water.
The participants in this round table are representative of the dynamism of these young scientists who know the importance of networks, who are confident in their knowledge and capacities, and who are resolutely committed to serving their countries and the development of African societies. This can be in the form of remarkable scientific courses, carriers of innovative training, the development of innovative technological projects or even the assumption of responsibilities which translate the desire for openness and progress in the service of populations.
